This will help the trust support families of seriously-ill children.

The football club has recently undergone a major redevelopment and now boasts a start of the art 3G pitch. Some games attract as many as 1,000 supporters. In addition, the club hosts junior team, attracting both ‘home and away’ parents to the ground, and matches for corporate companies.

Promotional items are a great way to create brand recognition if used in the right way. They can get your company logo into potential client’s offices in a way that is unique only to promotional products.

I think that the trick is to pick a branded item that will actually be used by your target audience and also has a link to the product or service that you represent.

Below, I have detailed some tips on deciding the best promotional products to get your message across and help build a strong recognition of your company or service.

1)What are you going to do with your printed promotional items?

It’s great getting boxes of printed USB sticks, branded pens, or umbrellas with your logo on, but what are you going to do with them when they arrive? If you don’t know beforehand they will either end up in a corner somewhere gathering dust or being used by your employees or, even worse, your friends and family. You can’t just stand on a street corner giving them out to anybody that walks by and expect a good return on your investment. Before even picking a product decide what you are going to do with it to get the maximum return. Decide if it is being sent out in the post, given out with orders already placed or handed out at a trade show.

If you want to get your name out to your target audience there are a number of ways to use promotional items. One way is to simply Google your targets, create a client list and either hit the companies directly with your sales team or create a mailing list. Nowadays, knocking on the door of your potentials is not going to get you past the gatekeeper on reception, but leaving a nice pack including a printed brochure and a promotional item will usually get your name in front of the potential client. If you have

a decent, well-thought-out promotional product your pack will land on a desk nine times out of ten.

2)Have a budget in mind

Once you have an idea of how you are going to successfully distribute your items you need to have a budget in mind. You can get quotes and trawl various websites for products, but if you have a budget this will be much quicker and you won’t be wasting your time. Decide how much you want to spend and then decide how many items you need. Divide the amount by the number of products to give you a figure that you need to spend per item. For example, if you want to spend less than 50p per item you will probably only get badges or a cheap pen. If you have a smaller list of clients you may want to spend more per item. A nice pen or a Bluetooth speaker will be in the £10–15 range.

3)Pick an item relevant to your client

I have seen time and time again companies that produce vast amounts of promotional items that are simply not relevant for themselves or their target audience. A cheap sports bag with, say, a construction company’s logo on is unlikely to be used at all. Why would someone go to the gym with a cheap, branded sports bag advertising a construction company? Even if your bag is free, you will be hard pushed to replace Nike, Adidas, Under Armour or their favourite sports team.

For example, we have branded scale rules that we give out to architects. These have details of our plan-printing service on them, and they are handy and something that an architect will use. Every time they use it they are reminded that we print architect and building plans. If you are a courier company, I’d look at getting a printed desk pad or desk calendar. Not just with a nice picture on it, but maybe with courier costs around the world for a standard parcel or a weight guide or times to send parcels on. This way your clients can look at it and think, “hmm, two days to send a parcel to San Francisco,” or“only two hours to send a parcel to London from here”. It’s relevant and something that will help them in their job. It’s a reason to have your desk pad or calendar on their desk rather than a favoured sports team or, even worse, a competitor’s.For a hotel, pens are great but branded luggage tags would be a much better option. Once attached to the luggage it will probably stay there and not end up in the bin. If you owned a travel company, branded flip-flop style luggage tags look quirky and, again, have more chance of staying on the luggage for a while, reminding your client of you every time they see the tag.

If you are trying to get your brand into companies, little jars of sweets are always taken, as are blocks of notelets. We were given some notelets on a mini pallet by a courier company about two years ago — they look good so no one uses them; they are just dotted on people’s desks with the courier company’s logo on them.

Everyone seems to like technology at the moment and I find branded power banks and USBs very popular. They may cost a bit more but people can use them and they last. Rarely do they go in the bin.

4)Think outside the box (literally!)

To make your printed promotional item more effective you need to find a way that you can add more value. We once printed some mugs with our logo on them. We put the mugs into little boxes and inside we put an individually wrapped tea bag and a biscuit. There was also a flyer inside. The flyer was titled “we miss you”. These were sent out to clients that had not used us for a while. The message on the flyer invited the client to have a biscuit and a cup of tea in their new mug, browse through some of our products and, if they needed anything, to give us a call or log on to our website. This little extra touch proved effective and the campaign got enquiries coming in steadily for the next few months.

5)Don’t expect instant results!

Don’t expect that giving out printed promotional products will bring instant success. It works well for brand recognition but it’s doubtful that you will get the enquires in straight away. For most items it’s simply a way of getting your brand into other companies, complementing your existing advertising and getting your name about. I see it as a marathon rather than a sprint. I watched a video for Coca-Cola a few months ago and they had a room full of branded products. If I was given a USB stick in the shape of a Coca-Cola can I doubt I would immediately run out and buy a can of coke, but I would keep the quirky USB stick and see their logo every day. This is just one piece of the branding jigsaw that runs alongside their TV commercials and social media ads, ensuring that when I see their products in the shops I will trust the brand. This must work for Coca-Cola as they sell more than 1.9 billion drinks each day. Now, you may be thinking that Coca-Cola are a worldwide brand operating on a much larger scale than you; maybe so, but the principle is the same. Any small or medium-sized enterprise can adopt this exact same strategy on a smaller scale. This can also be adopted in a niche market to a more concentrated audience.

6)What’s hot?

Power banks are very popular at the moment, as are USB chargers. USB sticks are always welcome with people who deal with files on a day-to-day basis, and printed pads and desk calendars will always be used. There is also a big health and fitness push at the moment, so water bottles and sports bags sell well. Golf is also popular, so golf balls are a good idea (just be careful to go for a branded name; cheap ones will not be used and will more than likely end up in a cupboard somewhere) and golf umbrellas can really get your name about, as they are not just used on the golf course. Fidget spinners are also a leading item at the moment, but like the loom band craze a few years ago they do have a shelf life. So, great for now, but likely to fade out by this time next year.

A good business card is an essential marketing tool for every businessman or businesswoman.

Your card should be professional, to the point, and able to quickly sum up your business.

The colours, design, texture and shape all contribute to the image that your card gives out.

Below, I have listed some tips on producing your business card, whether you are starting out new or simply updating your existing card.

Information

This is essentially the most important point on a business card; this is the point of a business card. Before you do anything, you will have to decide what information is important to your clients in order for them to reach out to you. Obviously, name is important – if your name is Andrew, an informal shortening to Andy may work well for some businesses, while more formal businesses may prefer you to have the name Andrew on your cards, even if everyone knows you as Andy.

Titles can also be important. However, in smaller SMEs some people may wear many different “hats” on a daily basis. In some companies the MD is also Head of Sales, for example.

You can make your company look smaller than it really is if your card has Managing Director as a title but you are dealing with a really small client or a minor issue that warrants passing on a card at the end of it. This is something you will have to decide yourself. With modern technology most printing companies will allow multiple titles on multiple cards for no extra cost.

Or it may just not suit your company to have titles on the cards at all.

You will also need a mobile number, direct dial number, or both on a card. An address is good but not essential in this day and age. Also, with so much social media communication available nowadays, having your LinkedIn, Instagram and/or Facebook handles on a card is something worth considering. It is important to strike a balance between having too much information on a card (which can make it look cramped) and having too little (which may lead to you missing out on opportunities).

Layout

If you can use a professional I’d highly recommend it. You can tell a mile away if your business card is using a stock template from any of the large online business card printing companies. What may look good and professional to you can look poor and unprofessional to potential clients, especially if they have another card with exactly the same design from another company.

A card made from one of the Microsoft programmes like Word or Publisher can also look amateur.

Make sure that the logo is nice and big, without being overpowering, and the text is readable. Be careful that your fonts are not too intricate or fancy as these may be hard to read on your 55mm x 90mm card. I would recommend that fonts are at least 8 point in size as anything less can be hard to read for some people. Remember, just because you can read it, doesn’t necessarily mean your clients can.

Stock

There are various types of stocks to have your business card printed onto. Standard stock is a 350gsm (grams per square metre) weight, but a 400gsm gives out a sign of quality, being just that little bit more substantial. Thicker stock is not always better though – a 400gsm silk or gloss is going to feel lighter than bond stock of the same gsm. Although the gsm is the same, silk and gloss stocks are not as dense as a bond stock (think of a ton of feathers compared to a ton of bricks; both weigh a ton but you would rather have a ton of feathers fall on your head than a ton of bricks!). There are various finishes like a Conqueror or Zeta Matt stocks that have a textured feel. You can also add a laminate to a standard card to add more substance. Triple-thick cards are also a popular option, this is where we will print on one stock and sandwich three cards together to make an extra thick 600gsm card. These extra thick or Lux cards can also have a coloured edge.

Size

Your card can be any size you want, but typically in the UK most cards are produced at 55mm x 90mm – this size can easily be kept with other cards and fits neatly into a wallet or purse. Folded cards also work well for some types of businesses. They can stand out and be a four page card scored and folded giving you an extra two cards to get your message across.

You can also add round corners or have the card made to a specific shape. This too can look good and make your card stand out from other cards. One example of a card that I saw was for a restaurant that sold breakfast cereals. The card was made from old cereal packets with a print on the back. The cards really stood out – they looked modern, fun and funky and summed up the image of the eatery perfectly. However, the card has to sum up your image and while fun and funky cards work well for some brands, they don’t work so well for others (solicitors, investment banks, etc.). You must not forget the image that you want to portray. Is it modern, serious, fun, intelligent, forward-thinking?

Design Your Cards For Your Audience

Think outside the box when designing your business card. It’s not for every company. For example, an accountant’s card would have to be bold, to the point and not too quirky. A marketing company though can be more quirky and take advantage of modern trends. Remember, a business card is an ice breaker and it’s personal to you. It sums up the brand of your company and also has the details of the person giving it away. It has to be “fit for purpose” so don’t get carried away and lose sight of what it is trying to do – leave a reminder of who you are, what you do and how to get hold of you.

Remember: Rules Are There To Be Broken

All the rules above are there to be broken. Use these ideas as a guide – they do work! – but don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Remember that your business card is just that – your business card. If you want to do something different then by all means take the risk and do it.

http://www.printroom.co.uk/blog/tips-to-produce-a-company-brochure#respondTue, 04 Jul 2017 11:04:13 +0000http://www.printroom.co.uk/?p=2379Company brochures and booklets are an integral part of any company’s B2B or B2C communications. They are an excellent way to showcase business services or collateral and nearly every company has its own. The company brochure is something that the sales team can give to prospective clients after a meeting, hand out at exhibitions or leave in receptions or potential clients’ offices.

Putting together a company brochure is easy, but putting together a compelling, attention-grabbing company brochure requires a little more thought.

Below are my top tips for putting together a professional company brochure that will help your sales team to communicate your company message to your target audience.

Have a budget in mind and gain a quotation

Before starting on your corporate brochure project, have an idea of your budget in mind. I would also recommend asking your printer for a cost based on your budget and the quantity that you are looking for.

Asking for this information beforehand will help you to design your brochure with the specification of the brochure in mind. So, for example, if you have a budget of £300 and your quote comes in at £200 then you can use the extra £100 to add a matt laminate to the cover or a Spot UV effect throughout the brochure. On the other hand, if your budget is £300 and your quotation comes in at £400 you can ask your printer how you can reduce the cost, by having less pages or reducing the size, for instance. All this information is useful to have before you spend time putting together the design.

Don’t scrimp on design… use a professional

You can have the best printer in the world but with a bad design the end product will be a waste of money, time and effort. A professional graphic designer will know all the tips and tricks to not only grab your target audience’s attention but to make sure that the brochure actually works. Small things like having “bleed”, supplying all images in CMYK high-quality, not having text and images run across two pages — these are issues that we come across all the time from clients that have had the design made on the cheap rather than using a professional studio. If the brochure is to promote your brand and it does not look professional, neither will you.

Use a decent stock and finish

If you are going to produce a brochure then I’d always advise using a quality stock and, if it is in your budget, a nice finishing effect like a matt laminate (thin plastic coating) or Spot UV (a high gloss coating over certain images). This will make your brochure both look and feel more professional, and not like it’s been printed at home on someone’s desk printer. Another tip is that thicker paper is not always better. If paper is too thick it just does not sit right, and it costs more.

Decide on the type of binding that you want

There are various binding options available — wire bound (good for training manuals), perfect bound (glued with a spine), or simply folded and stitched. For a brochure with an excess of 100 pages perfect binding looks good; it will have a spine and the cover will be wrapped around the inside or “text” sheets and glued together. They will not lie flat on a table but can still work well depending on your product or business. Folding and stitching is a more cost-effective option and works well for anything up to about 40 or 50 pages. For samples of binding, have a look at ourwww.manual-printers.co.ukwebsite.

Content

A company brochure needs to have good content for it to be an effective marketing tool. Research shows us that people are drawn towards images and colours first rather than text, so I’d suggest bullet points, crisp photos and infographics rather than a “Bible” of text. I would also limit your fonts and not have too many scattered about everywhere, try to stick to two or three at the most.

You have to remember that the content needs to solve the client’s “pain points”. Don’t bang on about how big you are or how good you are — remember, your clients are just like you. They care about their business not yours. Your brochure has to be a tool that they think can help them, whether it’s making them look good in a sleek new car, or making their life easier with a new piece of software.

I’d also like to sell the product rather than the process. For example, we sell print, we don’t put pictures of our big, dirty print machines in our brochure, but we do put in pictures of what these machines can produce. I have seen so many times client brochures with machinery all over them and text explaining awards that they won years ago, rather than the products that the client is trying to sell.

Check, check and double-check…

The last, and probably most important tip that I have is to get the brochure thoroughly checked before going to print. The worst mistake is to have a typo or misspelling in your brochure. This looks terrible and can cause so much damage to the reputation of your company.

http://www.printroom.co.uk/blog/four-hour-print-turnaround-becoming-a-reality#respondTue, 04 Jul 2017 10:43:04 +0000http://www.printroom.co.uk/?p=2375Becoming A Reality………….We Have Been Doing it Since The 70’s (And A Lot Of The Time Faster Than That!)

I have just read an article in one of the trade magazines stating that a print supplier in Manchester is now offering a four-hour turnaround on printing. What a great idea… the thing is The Printroom Group has been offering this service since the 70’s!

When we started, clients would drop in photocopying to us and it was printed While-You-Wait. The business may have grown and technology may have changed since then but, in essence, it’s still the same concept.

One recent example came this Friday when a client called asking if we could print 3000 double-sided flyers for an event that he was attending on Saturday morning. Within 10 minutes the files were sent to us and straight onto one of our presses. They were cut down as they came off the machine and delivered to the client’s home address that night.

But it’s not just simple flyers that can be printed in such a short space of time, our Canon imagePRESS C10000VP includes an online finishing unit and will trim, score and fold in one hit so that a finished book comes out of the press in one go.

This service is used by the many corporate clients that we serve on a daily basis for their printed collateral, sometimes for the same day and shipped out in a couple of hours.

If a tender has to be somewhere, we do it. If brochures need to be at an exhibition, we do it.

One of our clients is a high-end marketing and communications agency based in London. They work with high-end clients such as GSK, PepsiCo and BP, amongst other blue chips. Brochures and posters are sent to us using various software (usually not print-ready) and need to be delivered within hours. Offering a streamlined and reactive service, the print is delivered to an excellent quality and within the shortest of time frames.

So for us the four-hour time frame is a thing of the past — we deliver your print when you need it.

Printroom Donates over £1600 to Food Bank

The Printroom Group in Bracknell has once again helped a local charity raise much needed funds after donating over £1600 to them. The Printroom Group in the Western Industrial Estate in Bracknell, generously agreed to sponsor Foodbank Bracknell. Simon Lewington handed over a cheque for £1626.20 on behalf of The Printroom Group who also has offices in Reading and Camberley.
During the Christmas period 10% of all Calendar and Christmas card sales from The Printroom were donated to Foodbank, a Bracknell based charity that donates food to people in crisis. Simon Lewington commented “This is the fourth year that we have worked with Foodbank to both raise awareness of the charity and also raise much needed funds and we look forward to doing the same this coming Christmas.

Simon also commented “Hopefully other businesses in the local area can work with Foodbank in other ways to raise much needed funds throughout the year”
